On3p vs Faction

Heya, tanks for your interest in our skis.

Slightly biased opinion, but we are really stoked on the Candide 1.0s.

The main idea when redeveloping the skis was to make it as durable as possible : we went for thicker edges (2,5mm instead of 1,8mm) and added carbon reinforcement underfoot.
Symetrical sidecut, tip and tail rocker and 90mm waist make it a playful, fun ski to shred the park and all around as well.

If you want to try out a pair, make sure to keep an eye out on our Facebook page to find out about our next demo, or if you live around Breck, shoot us a PM and pop by our offices !

Cheers !

The fischers will probably be shit, The factions seem sick, I have the filthy riches and they are fantastic. You might also look at the new icelantic D'anollies.

Get the On3ps

Are the edges 2.5mm x 2.5mm?

NegromancerAre the edges 2.5mm x 2.5mm?

Important question, and I believe the answer is no. Pretty sure there's only 3 companies out there running the 2.5x2.5 edge and 1.8 base (ON3P, J Skis, and Kitten Factory).

The Filthy Rich is my go to park ski, I'm pretty stuck with them, everything about them is perfect for park skiing (which is why they've gone unchanged for so long). They have a super fun turning radius, let them run long and fast or heel them in for tight turns. The flex is on point, stable underfoot for big landings, but soft in the tip and tail for butters. Durability is the biggest seller, I ski park about 80 days a season, ON3Ps are the only skis I've owned that have survived the whole season, and on top of that, they still had life left in them. My boss has said that if a nuclear bomb went off the only survivors would be cockroaches and my skis.

just snag whatever you can get the cheapest. Most skis nowadays are pretty solid.

Didn't see a pair of broken or destroyed nightsticcks all last season. Can't say the same about faction. Saw ON3Ps but they were riddled with edgecracks and were only a few months old

Okay, well I'm leaning toward On3p (sorry faction) but what would you recommend Filthy riches? or the prester?

You'll probably want the FRs unless you really want to get into big jumps and/or you prefer a cambered park ski. The FR is more playful (still stable), while the Prester is stiffer. From your original post, it seems like the FR is more the ski you want.
